Much advance has been made in the arts and sciences, religion has spread its angelic wings over greater be- nighted territory, freedom has expanded over islands that smarted under the lash of tyranny and oppression, and our own country has stepped to the highest pin. acle as a world power, and the mon- archies of the old world pay us that hom. age and respect which heretofore had met only the sneer of disrespect. The United States treads into 1goz as the greatest, most powerful and most en lightened nation of the world, ancient or modern. May it be a Happy New Year to us as individuals, and tothe nation as a whole. May our power, wealth and influence be directly shed towards Justice, Right, Honesty and Integrity, These will rewarded by untold blessings from a kind Providence, and usher the nation into 1903 with a proud record on the page of 1902, and make every thankful to God that be is an American.

A young man by name of Wolf, who was working on a lumber job for John Ebert, at Sober, was brought to jail a few days ago on the charge of stealing $20 from Mr. Ebert. Ebert and Wolf slept together, as the informant of the Centre Democrat says, and during the night Wolf got up and possessed himself of the $20 in Ebert's pocket book. When charged with the theft Wolf owned up and gave as his reason that Ebert owed him $20 on wages and be could not get his pay, 50 he concluded to ‘take care of No, 1,”’ and rook his pay, out of Ebert’t pocket book. The money being actually due to Wolf, as the story goes, he con- cluded to turn pay-master and thus got himself into the jug.
